We love the style and decoration of the house including the available facilities and details. The owner must love the house so much, so we thank for sharing the lovely place with us. The view is superb. The garden is beautiful. The 3rd bedroom has an ensuite facility and very private. We didn't use the study room though the owner left us a key to access as well. We didn't cook but the kitchen utensils are of good quality.

Located on two landscaped acres surrounded by mountains, farmlands and views to the peninsula, Te Mahuru Retreat is just a 5-minute drive to Whale Watch Kaikoura. The lodge features a shared fully-equipped kitchen, large living and dining room and outside entertaining area with a hot tub with breathtaking views of the mountains.

Jen provided a great breakfast: coffee, tea, yogurt, fruit. Great selection of breads and pastries and condiments. The dining room was inviting and guests had a chance for relaxed conversation. There was also a well stocked and clean communal kitchen, in addition to an outdoor bbq/dining area, where we could prepare dinner. The rooms are beautiful with an excellent view to the gardens and mountains. This is indeed an oasis after a day of touring. Jen is a very knowledgeable and interesting host - very helpful and thoughtful (only nightlight in all of our stays!) and her two boys are just great!

    Kevin and Ann couldn't have been friendlier or more welcoming as hosts. The accommodation was luxurious and spotlessly clean and much more pet friendly than anywhere else we have stayed with the provision of dog bed and bowls in the room. We enjoyed meeting Bob, Boston and all the other animals and saw several pods of dolphins from the beach. Substantial breakfast. Very accommodating hosts, would have loved to stay and chat for longer.
